Datang: What's wrong with my fief being a billion points larger?

Chapter 107 The Earth is a Circle, and the Dart That Flyts Out of the Sky Finally Hit Yourself
After returning to the palace and completing today's daily tasks, Li Yuanji felt extremely comfortable as he watched his contribution points increase by another five points.

Yang Qingwan has now started to get busy with the clothing and textile business. She wants to make the business bigger and stronger, and to do that, she has to prepare dyes. Fortunately, some of the people she brought here know how to do it, so they were pulled over by Yang Qingwan.

Li Yuanji was lying leisurely on the chair. After a while, Xie Shufang hurried in.

"Your Majesty, Feng Zhixun has brought another batch of red sandalwood and huanghuali wood, as well as a reply letter."

Li Yuanji opened his eyes and glanced at Xie Shufang who looked unhappy. He was too lazy to pay attention to this man. He took the letter and started reading. This was his reply to Feng Zhixun asking him to plant cotton. After reading it, he spoke slowly.

"What's wrong with you? You're acting like I owe you money. You can hand over the wood to the craftsmen. This is just right. I'll make some more furniture for you. These are red sandalwood and huanghuali wood, which are rare in the palace. You're in luck."

Xie Shufang looked bitter when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, you have been kind to us, and we all remember that, but Your Majesty, could you please let Junmai help me share some of the burden?

Now I have as much to do as Dahe, but Dahe at least has people under him, and I don’t have any. Now Yu Minghe is leading the army to quell the rebellion, and I still have to do the work in the palace. I am really too busy to handle it all.”

Xie Shufang was really tired. He had discovered how Li Yuanji employed people. As long as they were capable, they would not think about a quiet life. Li Yuanji would directly arrange for them to survive.

This trust is indeed grateful and admirable. After all, he is willing to give power. But it is also really tiring. He, Xie Shufang, has really become a brick now. He will move wherever there is a pit. The things on his hands are not small at all. As for power?

Xie Shufang is not bragging. Having more people here will not affect his status. He really wants more capable people to share some of the work he has.

Li Yuanji felt a little embarrassed after listening to this. He also realized that he seemed to have exploited her too harshly, but there was nothing he could do.

"Shu Fang, it's not that I don't want to ask someone to share the work with you, but there is no one right now, as you can see. If it really doesn't work, why don't you find some people from the army to train?

There are still many good talents in the army. Look at Yang Jianhe, Li Xiang, Yuwen Bao and others. Aren’t they good examples? You have to be good at discovering such people.

As for Junmai, he has just recovered. I will let him rest for two more days. After two days, I will let him take charge of the outside affairs. You stay with me.

Is it okay now? Just hold on for two more days, it will be fine soon. "

Xie Shufang stared at Li Yuanji with resentment. He found out that he was cultivating talents? He wanted to ask Li Yuanji, who is the king? Shouldn't he, Li Yuanji, do this? What's the point of him doing it?

However, as a worker, and an extremely loyal one at that, what else could Xie Shufang do but to do as he was told.

"Yes, my king. I will go and find the talent right away~"

After Xie Shufang finished speaking, he left when he saw that Li Yuanji had no other arrangements. Fortunately, he could hold on for two more days before he could sell it to Xi Jun, so Xie Shufang was in a good mood.

After a while, Ning Chun came running over, and Li Yuanji found that it seemed a little difficult for him to take a nap.

"Your Majesty, when will the food arrive? If it doesn't arrive in half a month, we will be short of food here. Your Majesty, what should we do?" Speaking of this topic, the topic suddenly became heavy. Li Yuanji frowned and thought for a moment.

"Half a month should be no problem. Feng Ang has sent over another batch of food, which is enough to sustain us for another month. By then, Pei Xuanyan's fleet will be back. Besides, Xuan Ce and his men will surely be returning from Chang'an with a lot of food as well.

You should keep a close eye on this matter and pay attention to the consumption of food. You can reduce the amount appropriately. As for the matter of persuading people to become naturalized citizens and move into the city, don't stop and keep doing it. I told him at Yangshu that we will stop when a certain number of people are reached.

You should pay attention to this matter and don't worry too much. Things are different now than they were at the beginning. There will be no problem with food."

As long as Li Yuanji knew what was going on, Ning Chun would feel relieved. The reason Haikang was developing so fast was because of the food support from Li Yuanji, which was brought from Chang'an. Feng Ang and Tan Dian had also sent some before, but now it was not enough. It could be seen that the consumption of food was not small at all.

After all, there are tens of thousands of mouths working, and no one is idle. It would be strange if the food is not consumed quickly.

Ning Chun went down immediately, and Li Yuanji did not try to keep him. As for the matter of the statue, Li Yuanji did not ask either. He just pretended that he knew nothing about it.

Li Yuanji was left alone and he was worried. Lingnan was a very suitable place for growing food, but there was not much arable land. He originally thought that the food could be grown in a year, but he suddenly found that at this rate, it would take at least two years before Lingnan's food would be truly sufficient.

Afterwards Li Yuanji stopped thinking about it, as he had already arranged the food issue long ago. There was no point in getting anxious now, so he lay down leisurely again. However, after a while, a heart-wrenching voice came from his ears.

"Brother-in-law~"

Hearing these two words, Li Yuanji's mouth twitched suddenly. He instantly knew who was coming. He wanted to find a place to hide, but Yang Cheng ran straight in front of him.

"Brother-in-law, you have arranged for Sizhe to do the work, can you bear to watch me work here alone and get exhausted?

Brother-in-law, please arrange something important for me to do. I can do it. I'm young and can handle the pressure. I can even stay up at night.

Brother-in-law, you can't leave me there alone~"

Yang Cheng was crying and rubbing his body against Li Yuanji, which made Li Yuanji's eyes twitch.

Li Yuanji couldn't understand. Even though the Yang family had fallen on hard times, it was still a big family. How could such a shameless person emerge from it?
Think about Wei Ye and then compare him with Yang Chen. The difference is so huge. Wei Ye looks like he came from a big family, while Yang Chen looks like a scoundrel.

Li Yuanji looked up at the sky, feeling helpless. He really wanted to return the goods, otherwise what should he do? After all, Yang Cheng was Yang Qingwan's brother, and he had followed her to Lingnan. If he really wanted to beat him, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Seeing that Li Yuanji didn't say anything, Yang Cheng cried even louder, although not a single tear came out.

Li Yuanji was very upset. At this moment, he suddenly understood the feelings of those people when he went to Chang'an to beg for supplies, especially Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, who had smiles on their faces but felt annoyed in their hearts.

"Get up! If you continue like this, I will send you back to Chang'an."
